We don't have enough Xlib code in mutter ...
Joking aside, it can be useful to make the cursor invisible
without hiding it, for example for replacing the actual cursor
with an actor in gnome-shell; the real cursor should still
update the focus surface in that case, and not sneak into
screenshots or -casts.

For HiDPI pointer cursors backed by Wayland surfaces, the hotspot must
be placed using integers on the logical pixel grid. In practice what
this means is that if the client loads a cursor sprite with the buffer
scale 2, and it's hotspot is not dividable by 2, it will be rounded
down to an integer that can. E.g. a wl_surface with buffer scale 2 and a
cursor image with hotspot coordinate (7, 7) will have the coordinate
(3.5, 3.5) in surface coordinate space, and will in practice be rounded
down to (3, 3) as the hotspot position in wl_pointer only takes
integers.
To not potentially shift by 1 pixel on HiDPI monitors when switching
between wl_surface backend cursor sprites and built-in ones, make the
built in one emulate the restrictions put up by the Wayland protocol.
This also initializes the theme scale of the xcursor sprite instances to
1, as they may not have been set prior to being used, it'll only happen
in response to "prepare-at" signals being emitted prior to rendering.

It knows better when it's needed. For now, just do it just as before,
before drawing. Eventually, we can conditionalize where to realize
depending on the cursor sprite position.

Use a common entry point into the cursor renderer implementations HW
cursor realization paths for all cursor sprite types. This is in
preparation for realizing at more strategic times.

The end goal here is to being able to realize at any point in time
through a single API, so start by moving state into the cursor sprite
implementation.

Introduce a new type MetaCursorSpriteXcursor that is a MetaCursorSprite
implementation backed by Xcursor images. A plain MetaCursorSprite can
still be created "bare bone", but must be manually provided with a
texture. These usages will eventually be wrapped into new
MetaCursorSprite types while turning MetaCursorSprite into an abstract
type.
